Ethical Behaviour Pays Off Financially!
Global Knowledge Through Global Partnership
MBA
Spells Magic, Brilliant, Amazing
If you have an
MBA from a British business school, such as Luton Business
School, then you can expect things to change for the
better. If you are already in, or plan a career in management,
then an MBA is one of the most prestigious qualifications
you can have.
Pioneering Qualifications for a Financial Career
The financial services sector,
like many other industries, has literally shrunk in
terms of access within the global arena. E-Commerce
rules, and the development in information technology
is accelerating at an awe-inspiring rate.
Business Schools Take a Global
View
There is no substitute for the experience of living
and working abroad. Learning to adapt to the social
and business cultures of another country is a key skill
for those likely to work with overseas partners. The
Association of MBAs reports that there is a growing
trend amongst overseas executives to supplement their
international business experience by studying for an
MBA within the UK.
MBAs and Postgraduate Programmes in the US
Before investing
the money, time and energy in obtaining a business degree,
one should determine the quality of the programs being
offered. One factor to consider is whether the program
is accredited by a specialised accrediting agency.
The
Value of MBAs from a Corporate Perspective
The business world
is changing at a rate that would have been unimaginable
in the past. Rapid advancements in technology, changes
in customer behaviour, higher expectations from financial
investors and a general sense of impatience are placing
tremendous and often paradoxical demands on the top
management of corporations. Dealing with such change
is requiring them to modify the way they organise themselves
AACSB
Accreditation - Indicator of Quality
The
dictionary has almost a dozen definitions for the word
'quality', but when you get right down to it, quality
represents achievement and commitment. Achieving accreditation
by the International Association for Management Education
(AACSB) is a clear indicator not only of quality, but
of instructional commitment to a philosophy of continuous
improvement.
AACSB
International - The Association to Advance Collegiate
Schools of Business
This is an exciting
time to prepare for a career in business management.
There are many changes in how business is being conducted
around the world. Clearly, this is a time of great transition
in the creation and distribution of goods and services
globally.
WHY
AN MBA?
I recently
gave a series of workshops in Europe on "How the
MBA Helps Your Career." I focused my remarks on
three tangible outcomes that all students should expect
to achieve from their MBA programs:
The Changing Face of the Global Economy
On 28 January 2002, the European
Policy Centre held a policy briefing on the changing
face of the global economy. Keynote speaker was Jeffrey
R. Immelt, CEO of General Electric since 7 September
2001, who spoke about his company's expansion strategy,
especially in Europe.
The Liberal Arts
My
friend Richard has an MFA in Creative Writing. My friend
Joan has an undergraduate degree in art history. If
the popular stereotypes had been accurate, those degrees
should have qualified them for successful careers behind
the counter in the fast food industry. But to the best
of my knowledge, neither Richard nor Joan has ever hawked
a Happy Meal or super sized soft drink.
Which
MBA Programme?
How
do you decide where to pursue an MBA? Well, if you base
your decision on a program's effectiveness in teaching
analytical skills, it's apparently hard to go wrong.
Big schools, small schools, well-known schools, and
little-known schools - they all produce MBAs who get
high marks for analysis and technical competency

Deciphering
the GMAT - Questions and Answers
The Graduate Management
Admission Test - GMAT is a computer-adaptive test
that measures basic verbal, mathematical, and analytical
writing skills that are developed over a long period

The British
MBA: Be Commercially Aware
Those without work experience
should not consider MBA study. We advise recent graduates
to defer until they have at least two, and preferably
three or four years solid work experience.
Diverse
Opportunities - Considering an MBA
Although deciding on the
most appropriate MBA programme can be a daunting task,
it is undoubtedly worth the time and effort to research
the market thoroughly before any final choice is made
Identifying
the Best Business School for You
Before limiting your options
to high profile schools, investigate all possible
options available to you as a consumer of graduate
management education.
The MBA - Increasingly
International

business has sharpened the need for professionalism
in management, and business schools offer MBA programs
that reflect this reality.
Teams Are the
Key MBAs in the USA
Teamwork is the backbone
of any top-rated MBA program. International students
have unique managerial perspectives that add to the
structural integrity of student teams.
How
to Apply for Graduate Studies
A graduate degree can provide
greater mobility within your area of interest and/or
the flexibility to change careers. Graduate school
may be necessary to keep up with advances in your
field.
What
to expect from your Business Education
Business studies must prepare
people for the big difference between the cosy classroom
environment and the realities of today's business
world.

ever closer ties under the pressures of a world market,
needs a management education industry capable of developing
leaders with an international perspective.
